I'm definitely seeing the benefits of belonging to a smaller Lemmy instance today. - eviltoast

I’ve gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.

… and I can’t access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.

Programming.dev is alive and well though.

    Yes, it definitely provides opportunity for bad actors to control Lemmy.

    If reddit wanted to they could offer the admins of beehaw, sh.it.just.works, and lemmy.world money for control of the servers and then if accepted defederate the three largest instances from everywhere else, basically killing Lemmy or at least severely hindering it’s growth.
